Poor Claude, toeless Claude, Claude of ton
serial art, has turned up in Kansas City,
there TO take new start. And it will be a
Long while ere he gets as good a one as he
had here.
Inresponse TO suggestion from the county
local option committee, the ladies of this viii
lage will serve hot coffee and lunches to
those who desire it. Refreshments in the
lower rooms of the town hall. Only very
moderate compensation will be expected.

Under the new arrangement for running
trains on the Central, the day expresses do
not stop at Lawton, a matter that will be
extremely distasteful and inconvenieut to
our citizens. The corrected time tables,
both of the main line and the narrow gauge
will be found in this paper.
We desire that some friend of the NORTH
ERNER in every township in the county
should drop Us a postal card giving the result
of to morrow's election just as soon as it is
known. BY so doing you will confer favor
that will be appreciated and one that we
shall be pleased to reciprocate.
Quarterly meeting at the NJ. j.. church next
Saturday and Sunday. Preaching Saturday
at two O'Clock p. m. Love feast Sabbath
morning, commencing at half past nine
o'clock preaching at half past ten, followed
by the sacrament. Presiding Elder w. l..
Coggshall breaches in the evening
There were two parties of our Van Buren,
hunters up north, each party consisting of
five members and each party bagging twenty
four deer. Pretty fair record. We under
stand that Milford Buskirk shot nine of
them for his share, while County Treasurer
Butler had to be content with three.
The THANKSGIVING address delivered by
Elder Harvey at the Methodist church was a
very fine production and was listened to by
large and intelligent audience. A liberal
collection was taken up for the benefit of
the poor The praise service i'll the evening
was very interesting and was largely at
tended.
On Wednesday last, about the middle of the
forenoon, the "cold wave" flag was ordered
up, but the cold wave did not materialize in
this locality. We have not heard any one
express any regret that the prediction was
unfulilled. The prevailing impression seems
to be that we shall get all the cold weather
we shall care for between this and the first
day of April, 1888.
DIR. q. V. Hilton will remove To Woodlawn,
a suburb of Chicago, where, we understand,
he has formed an advantageous business
connection. He will leave town this week.
The DIR. has won many friends during his
residence among us, and many will regret
that he has found it for his interest 70 leave
this place. The NoRTHERNEE wishes him
success in his new home.
The Courier man has a COW, and kicking
COW at that. Last Sunday evening there WAS
a tussle between the COW, Bert, the milking
stool and the pail. The result of the fracas
was demoralized pail, broken stool. a
bruised editor and an uniniured triumphant
brute of a COW. We understand the COW is
for sale OH the same terms that he sold his
shepherd dog. We've been there Bert, and
know how 20 sympathize with you.
Yesterday morning we received a card
from Rev. L. Mason of Lawton, reading as
follows: q" l announced you and Mr.. Wood
man to address the people of Lavton to-
morrow evening in the interest of temper
ance. / am requested to say that there will
be no school, nor any public gathering in
Lawton until further notice. We suppose
that such arrangement was made on account
OF the fact that scarlet fever is prevalent at
Lawton, several deaths having already oc-
CURED from that disease.
Mr.. y. $. Salisbury Of Morenci, Michigan,
has purchased Mr. c. +. Toung's drug and
grocery business and will move his family
here and continue business at the old stand
We understand that Mr.. Salisbury is n man
of means and will be a desirable addition to
our town. We bespeak for him hearty
welcome at the hands of our citizens. Mr.
Young will go TO Nebraska soon to look after
his cattle interests in that state and with a
view of locating there permanently. He has
the NoRTHEBNEB' S best wishes for his future
success, wherever he may be.

head, Ia carloads of hogs, 95l4 head
